Chapter 223 The 4th Emperor!
Clang!
The figure burst through the white mist, hotter than fire and faster than thunder!
The two swords pressed down on Murakumogiri, their slender blades wreathed in visible, boiling black and red arcs of electricity.
The Conqueror's Haki intertwined with the swordsman's inherent ferocity, unleashing its power wildly!
Lion Valley!
swish—swish—swish—swish—
The powerful slash instantly shredded the sails of the Moby Dick, sending them flying everywhere!
……
The white-bearded man remained as steady as a mountain, his arm muscles bulging like the roots of an old tree as he firmly gripped the broadsword.
The crescent-shaped mustache on his lips curled upwards with a smile.
"You little brat, that was your 'VIP seat,' are you just going to ruin it like that?!"
Allen's smile stretched almost to his ears.
"You're quite sensible, old man!"
"He didn't wait until I beat him half to death before taking his medicine!"
Allen was absolutely certain... Whitebeard had already taken the True Release Pill!
The answer lies in the gradually flickering black and red arcs of electricity on the Murakumo-giri!
……
"Gurarararara!! It's a father's duty to live up to his son's expectations!!"
Snap!
A domineering aura, almost as red as ink, gathered on the white-bearded man's fist, with a halo like a full moon around the outer edge of the fist.
As the halo spread, the air emitted a mournful cry of unbearable strain.
"Go lie down and go on vacation, you brat!!!"
"Breaking through the air!!!"
Peng! ! ! !
Black, domineering cracks flowed through the void, and everything that passed through the fist began to twist and shatter, with the space emitting a teeth-grinding cracking sound.
He threw a punch straight at Allen's chest and abdomen.
Allen's pupils contracted sharply, his beast-like instincts screamed wildly, and all his power instinctively contracted and gathered towards the point of imminent attack.
This is something he learned through fighting Kaido, and it can be tentatively categorized as "protection techniques," which are techniques that minimize the damage he takes when being attacked.
He tried to withdraw the Sakura Ten Drywood Defense, but was entangled by the overwhelming aura emanating from Murakumo Kiri, unable to break free.
The next moment—
Thump! ...
It was no ordinary impact sound; it was the dull thud of a hole being smashed into the space itself!
Conqueror's Haki, the Tremor-Tremor Fruit ability, plus Whitebeard's immense strength...
Without a doubt, this was the strongest attack Allen had ever faced in his life!
……
Allen felt as if the entire weight of Marineford was concentrated in this fist. The dark purple chakra that had just surged out shattered like fragile glass before it could even gather.
An extremely terrifying force attacked his body directly from within, like countless tiny, sharp knives tearing at his muscles and bones, causing him to vibrate wildly inside!
Peng! ! ! !
A fist bigger than his body slammed into him.
Allen was like a piece of wood swept away by a tsunami, turning into a blurry afterimage as he crashed into the walls of Marineford.
Along its inverted flight path, the air is violently torn apart, forming a sonic boom vortex.
A giant lieutenant general wearing an iron mask tried to catch him, but the moment he reached out, the residual shockwave sent him flying!
Boom! ...
Without slowing down in the slightest, Allen crashed heavily into the city wall, and cracks spread wildly around the crater.
……
……
Hundreds of thousands of people in the stadium, including countless others watching the live broadcast around the world, simultaneously lost their voices.
Whether they were from the navy or the pirates, their eyes nearly popped out of their sockets when they saw the figure embedded deep in the city wall.
……
What did you see...?
He fought Kaido for seven days, defeated Charlotte Linlin in a single day, and years ago forced Bullet to flee in panic. Pirates see him as a demon, while the Navy is proud of him as a hero...
He was defeated with just one punch?!
Is the world's strongest challenger really that far from being the true world's strongest?!
"Gurarararara... I've come to pick you up, Ace!!!"
The laughter caused the entire Marineford to tremble, and huge ripples spread out across the sea.
……
Warring States period, his brow twitched, and he shouted loudly.
"This is the strongest man in the world! Whitebeard, Edward Newgate!!! The enemy we face! Possessing the power to destroy the world!!!"
"Get your attention at your absolute best!!!"
Click—
Doflamingo gripped the edge of the wall, unconsciously crushing stones as cold sweat poured down his face.
"What...what a joke, even that guy..."
Even Hawkeye couldn't remain calm, his expression changing slightly.
"The gap between me and him... is visible to the naked eye!"
……
"Dad... what's going on?!"
The Whitebeard crew was no less shocked than the Navy, especially Marco.
He knew his father's body all too well. About ten years ago, Whitebeard was unable to fully unleash Conqueror's Haki due to old injuries; at most, he could only release it externally.
All he remembered was that before the Moby Dick surfaced, his father took out the wooden box Allen had given him before he left, and chewed it up and swallowed it whole.
Was it that... that relieved Dad of his illness?
As a doctor, he knew there was no medicine that could heal old, accumulated wounds, not even his Regenerating Flame could do that.
This kind of thing... is just a fleeting moment of brilliance that comes at the cost of burning away one's life force!
My father's health was already...
Marco lowered his head to hide his expression and asked in a low voice, "How long?"
The white-bearded man smiled faintly: "It's been a long time, enough to take you back."
Yeah……
Marco breathed a slight sigh of relief and looked at the deep pit: "Did he anticipate this situation...? Seriously, Dad, you were too reckless! What if Allen dies?!"
Knowing that his father was alright for the time being, he began to worry about Allen's condition.
"You underestimate him..."
The white-bearded man gazed at that spot and let out a barely perceptible sigh.
Bang——! !
At the recessed part of the city wall, a huge dark purple hand gripped the edge, its knuckles exerting force.
When Allen reappeared, his Justice Coat was torn to shreds, and his black military uniform was ripped apart at the chest and abdomen, revealing a body as strong as cast steel.
He exhaled a long breath of stale air.
An electric arc flickered, and the slightly dented chest quickly returned to normal, leaving no wound.
He stood there, the wind blowing his long black hair wild.
……
"Major General Allen is alright!!"
"I knew it! Even the strongest person in the world couldn't possibly defeat him!!"
"Go! Lord Allen!! You are the strongest in the world, capable of destroying the myth of the Four Emperors!!"
……
"Really... just lie there quietly, it's not shameful to be defeated by Dad."
Seeing that Allen was alright, Marco immediately changed his attitude.
His hands transformed into large, fiery wings, and he leaped towards Allen.
"Move closer," Marco whispered.
"That's about enough. After taking such a strong blow from your father, it's normal for you to be entangled by me, the second-in-command of the Whitebeard Pirates. It won't tarnish your reputation."
"We haven't sparred much before, let's have some fun!"
Snap—
Susanoo grabbed Marco with its palm, just like an adult grabbing a small bird.
An unparalleled pressure pressed down on him, and Marco cried out in pain, looking at Allen.
Those eyes burned with unimaginable fighting spirit, and something even deeper.
……
"This is not a game, Marco."
A cold voice rang out.
"I said... I would do everything in my power to stop you. Did you think I was joking?"
Click—
"ah!!!"
With a forceful squeeze of his five fingers, Marco heard a soft cracking sound as his bones broke, and only then did he remember to struggle and resist.
Swah——
Allen shoved Marco aside and leaped at Whitebeard, his chakra surging wildly from his body, and crimson blood flowing from his Mangekyou Sharingan.
Chakra coiled and shaped, and dark purple flames erupted, shooting into the sky.
Clad in ancient armor, the complete ancient war god descends upon the battlefield!
Roar! ! ! !
Susanoo let out a roar that was not human, and an unprecedented, almost out-of-control dark red aura suddenly erupted.
Wrapped around the sword, it ignites a blazing golden fire.
The black and red patterns in his pupils swirled, cold and sinister, yet possessing a godlike majesty.
After intense and pure emotions, a crystal-clear killing intent arose.
……
Die by my hand, and your glorious life will come to a perfect end!
"Whitebeard!!!!"
-
"Susanoo - All Things in the Universe, All Ashes!"
……
I felt it...
I felt that desire so clearly.
The crescent moon shape narrowed, and the white-bearded man leaped out, wielding knives in both hands.
"Is that so... Then let's experience for ourselves what it means to have the power to 'shake the world'!"
"Seaquake - It's tearing through the air!!"
-
From bottom to top, facing the descending golden giant blade, the ultimate destructive power is concentrated at the tip of the blade.
An invisible tremor spread...
The sky shattered, the sea overturned, and the gate of justice that had stood for eight hundred years burst open with a deafening roar!
-
-
-
Thousands of miles away.
Hunti sat cross-legged in the canopy of the golden tree with his eyes closed, the golden flames burning on his body continuously extending and spreading.
suddenly,
He sensed something and opened his eyes to look at the dark, cloud-covered sky.
The dark clouds parted, revealing a ferocious dragon poking its head out.
……
"Explain yourself... Hunt!!"
Kaido roared, with Charlotte Linlin riding a thundercloud beside him.
Hunting stood up expressionlessly and spoke calmly.
"There's one more person, please come forward."
……
brush--
On the rocky hill not far away, a tall figure stood.
It was Douglas Barrett!
The three pirate emperors who reign supreme in the New World have all arrived here!
"Do I need to explain, Kaido!"
"Heh heh heh, even the dumbest idiot could see that this guy has allied with Uchiha Ariana!!"
"Just like us, we came together because of the same purpose!!"
Kaido breathed fire from his throat: "I'm not so low as to be compared to trash like you! Get lost if you don't want to die!!"
He stared intently at Hunting: "Answer me! Hunting!!"
"You bastard, have you forgotten the thousand-year-old blood feud of the Lunaria race?! You've really allied with that guy?!"
……
"It's not an alliance..."
Shou Mo turned around and said calmly.
"Anyway... let's have a fight."
